In this episode, Kieran Beer talks to Mike Hudson and Spencer Woodman, investigative journalists at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), about the 16 months of reporting that went into making sense of the FinCEN Files—more than 2,000 leaked SARs linking the world’s biggest banks, Jho Low, Paul Manafort, Russian oligarchs and international crime networks.
Hudson and Woodman detail their investigative methods and describe the systemic failures that led to billions of dollars of dirty money being funneled through the global financial system.
